Working in electric sector is a hazardous job. Dielectric boots should be used, where possible, in conjunction with electrically insulating gloves, tools and matting. Gloves are often your first point of contact with potentially dangerous high voltage equipment.
An electric shock through our body can generate various injuries, a cardiac respiratory arrest, caused by the strong impact on the heart, an electric shock can destroy several muscles of our body, as well as nerves and tissues, it can also generate internal burns to organs and skin.
A dielectric boot is an electrical insulator, it isolates our body from the ground so that an electric current does not circulate through our body when we are manipulating an active electrical element and therefore can affect our health. The dielectric strength is given in the sole of the safety boot, regardless of the material of the toe, the sole determines the dielectric strength of the safety footwear, according to the ASTMF2413 standard, a current is passed through the sole with a voltage of 18KV at a frequency of 60Hz for one minute, the sole passes the test if the leakage current does not exceed 3mA.
